A memorial in the form of a railroad car has been unveiled next to the ramp, or unloading platform, at the site of the Nazi German Auschwitz II-Birkenau concentration camp and extermination center. It is dedicated to the memory of the more than 400 thousand Hungarian Jews deported to Auschwitz by the Nazis between May and July 1944.

Several thousand young Jews from all over the world and a group of Polish young people took part on the nineteenth March of the Living at the site of the Auschwitz camp. This year, the March was dedicated to the one-and-a-half million children killed in the Shoah.

On June 7, 1979, during his first pilgrimage to Poland, Pope John Paul II visited the site of the Nazi German Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp. To mark the 30th anniversary of the event, High Mass was celebrated at the Church of Our Lady Queen of Poland in Brzezinka.
